Who's to blame? (Willie allows a child to macho dance!)

By: Unknown on 2:05 PM

The video above shows the incident wherein TV5, one of the biggest television networks in the Philippines, allows a six-year old child to do a "macho dance" in one of their shows, Willing-Willie hosted by ill-famed Willie Revillame. Furthermore, the host made the poor child repeat the dance a couple of times.

There are a lot of debates going on as to who was to blame for the incident. Here are my two cents:

TV5, I know for sure that you had a screening and a run-through of the show so why would you allow this? Why would you allow a child to do such a demeaning act?

Willie, instead of stopping the child, you made fun out of him instead. Didn't you find it somewhat, wrong to watch that you even made the child go to the stage and repeat the deed once more? That you even had the guts to throw jokes about him?

Parent, what the hell was in your mind? There are a lot of other talents to choose from but why that? WHY A MACHO DANCER? Teaching your child to dance that way is really sick and disturbing.

Seeing this, I felt sorry for the child. I'm not the right place to judge but please allow me to do so. 

TV5, I never knew you could be as unprofessional as this. I never knew that you would let this act happen just to gain more viewers. 

Willie, you said you've changed, but you didn't, you never did. You're tactless and stupid. Calling you the S word a million times would not equate to the amount of damage you did not just to the child but to the image of our country as well. Had it been you child, would you act the same way? I guess not.

I don't know what's in your mind that you can bear making jokes out of that. The first seconds of watching the video was unbearable, yet you, you made fun out of it. You're worst than corrupt officials.

Speaking of corrupt officials, a lot say that this is all your fault. Had you not corrupted, Filipinos would not have been that desperate to earn money.

It's sad that this kind of things happen. What's even sadder is that some Filipinos actually find the show entertaining. Nonetheless, I hope the persons involved will proper sanctions just to their actions.

Goals for 2011

By: Unknown on 2:03 AM

In case you didn't know, the first day of the year 2011 is "1.1.11 (January 1, 2011)". Actually this has nothing to do with my post. Im just telling! :p

365 DAYS = 3 MAIN GOALS

I used to have a lot of goals set for the year ahead, but I always tend to forget the less important ones. And sometimes, when I back read my posts, I end up being frustrated because I did not try to achieve all the listed goals religiously. So this year, I only have 3 main goals.

1. To not be tempted by my own mind and skip class. Doing this means I have to wake up early in the morning, quit pressing that snooze button and stop telling my self that I still have five more minutes to sleep. Challenging!

2. To discipline my self and not stay up after 12 midnight. This means, I have to lessen my computer addiction and manage my time well. I have to learn how to complete all my tasks in the university paper, online jobs, and personal blogging earlier/faster.  Very challenging!

3. To be able to learn how to turn my head to the left and then to the right repeatedly when someone offers me food. In other words, to loose weight. Goodbye chocolates, Black pearl, Pancit Canton, Halo2x, and a lot more. Super duper mega ultra challenging!

I believe that if I wont skip any class, studying would be a lot easier since I do not need to find/borrow notes during my final exam week and I would be ready for any exam. Moreover, sleeping early, in my case, 12 midnight; would surely help me stay healthy and not get sick. And most of all, limiting my food intake would make me thinner. That simple! Haha. :) With all these "main goals", I'm so sure my new year would be a colorful one!

Wish me luck cause I need them! :) How about you? Do you have any goals for the new year? Tell me! ♥

PS: I call them mail goals because I also have these minor goals: To save, To buy lots of clothes, To buy another phone, To buy an iTouch, and a lot more. Believe me, you do not want to ask them all. 

That would be all for now.

Countdown to the real world

By: Unknown on 3:03 PM

Less than four months to go!

I wanted to start this post by counting the days left before my graduation but I guess that's too much of my math-hater mind to handle. Anyway, I do not want to say, "If I would graduate" because I want to be positive on this - I have to omit the word IF. (Darn it, I typed the word IF three times already. Purpose defeated, eh?)

Looking back, I can say that I enjoy being a student. I'd rather worry about my fare to school than worry about the bills like what my mom always does. I would rather worry on my projects than worry about finding food to be served on the table. And if given just one minute to stay immature, I would say I would rather want to want to continue on being a student.

But NO, saying that would be selfish of me. I have grown, and so did my goals and responsibilities. I have stepped out of my childish wants and settled on bigger ones. I have learned that life is short, and that I may not have all the time in the world so I must not waste it on petty aspirations.

I am still unaware of what the "real world" is, but surely, it is a jungle there. However, no matter how hard it may be, I am ready for it - with head up high. =)
